Bamboo Floor is made of glued bamboo-slices which have undergone high temperature and high pressure. So it has little color difference and perfect water resistance.



The strip is wider and more evident. Horizontal construction offers the most tradition bamboo visual and shows the knuckles of the stalk giving the floor a distinctive look.

The strip is thinner and less evident - strips of bamboo are individually glued together vertically to form the plank, vertical construction has a more subtle appearance, with a cleaner and more consistent surface visual


There is no difference in quality between the two, but they offer different looks. By constructing the planks of flooring in this way the stability of the boards is comparable to Engineered Hardwood Floor or Engineered Bamboo Floor. This means Solid Bamboo Floor is versatile and can be laid over almost any subfloor and can be floated over an underlay or fixed into position if you would prefer.

So, it is a sustainable production that also effectively protects the environment.


Besides, the density of this kind of floor is also relatively high, it can reach 1200kg / m3, 1.6 times that of ordinary bamboo and hardwood floor. So it is with high hardness, high strength, high impact resistance.


Strand Woven Bamboo Floor also has great water resistance and is hard to deform. After 24 hours of testing, the expansion ratio of water absorption thickness is only 0.4%, which is much better than the European standard ≤2.0%.


Q: How to choose Bamboo Flooring?
